David Eduardo García Mitogo (born 18 May 1990) is an Equatoguinean footballer who plays for Spanish club CD Barco as a forward.

Club career

Born in Bata, Equatorial Guinea, Mitogo moved to Spain at the age of only three. He began his youth career with CD La Morenica, and later joined SD Ponferradina as a cadet; however, he was dissatisfied with his time at the club and returned to his previous team at the end of the season.

At 16, Mitogo ultimately returned to Ponferradina to complete his formation.[2] He made his senior debuts with the reserve side, in the fourth division.[3]

On 20 September 2009, aged 19, Mitogo made his first appearance for Ponferradina's main squad, in a third level match against SD Eibar, scoring the only goal of the game in the process.[4] Still mainly registered with the B's, he appeared in a further six games for the first team as it finally achieved promotion to division two.

Playing for Ponferradina B against CD Huracán Z on 24 October 2010, Mitogo suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, being sidelined for six months.[5]

International career

In April 2010, Mitogo was called by the Equatoguinean national under-20 team for the second match against Gabon in the 2011 African Youth Championship qualifiers (preliminary round).[6] He scored the Equatoguinean goal, in a 1–1 draw.[7]

In late July 2010, Mitogo received his first callup for the full side, for a friendly with Morocco on 11 August.[8] He came on as a substitute for Juan Mbela in the 67th minute.

Personal life

Mitogo comes from a multiracial background. His white father, whose surname is García, is Spanish, while his black mother, surnamed Mitogo, is a Fang.
